Peter and Mia
paired together in 2006 to teach at the Herrang Dance Camp in Sweden
and have been a team ever since.
Before
partnering, they were internationally known for their own
achievements. Peter is the foremost historian on American Jazz
Dance. Credited for bringing back many of the dances that he learned
from the original dancers of the 1920’s and 30’s, he brings a first
hand historical approach to his classes.
Mia, along with
her incredible string of competition wins, has undoubtedly become
known as one of the best Balboa Swing dancers in the world. Her
unique approach to teaching is full of energy and creativity,
bringing a passionate and motivated air to the duo’s partnership.
Together they have become famous for their footwork, improvisation,
individual approach, and style. Their expansive knowledge of social
jazz dances and the music that drove them allow students to learn
the history of these dances and how they’ve evolved through the
years.
